Initial Consultations

The appointment will be with one of our Immigration Lawyers or Registered Migration Agents. Please find professional profiles here.

At the appointment, we will:

• Discuss your situation
• Advise on your visa options and specific issues that may be relevant to your circumstances
• Advise on appeals, if your application has been refused

Following the appointment, we will:

• Send you a follow-up email summarising the advice on your visa or appeal options.
• We will also provide a fee estimate so you know what you are likely to spend if you proceed with a visa application, appeal or hourly rate representation.

Please note that we may identify the need for further specific research, especially in relation to appeals or complex matters. We would confirm your instruction to undertake further research, and hourly rate fees would apply.
